The novel aim of this book is to illustrate the MR imaging features of the fetal and the neonatal brain by matching prenatal and postnatal images for a wide range of neurological abnormalities. The focus is on both conventional and advanced MR imaging techniques, including high-resolution MR autopsy of the fetal brain.
During the past ten years, neuroradiological evaluation of the neonatal and the prenatal brain has advanced tremendously. However, even though they are intrinsically related, these two critical stages in brain development are usually studied and presented separately. In order to have a sound understanding of neonatal brain diseases, detailed knowledge of prenatal brain pathology is immensely helpful; conversely, knowledge of neonatal brain disease is a prerequisite for understanding many fetal brain lesions. Written by experts in the field, Perinatal Neuroradiology will be of value for neuroradiologists and pediatric radiologists, as well as obstetricians and neonatologists.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"This is an atlas of mostly MRI images relating neonatal brain malformations to the developing brain. The images are superb and the concept of tracking the brain through its formative stages is unique and interesting. . The intended audience is neuroradiologists, neonatologists, and obstetricians, but the book is most suitable for neuroradiologists and embryologists or researchers in the developing fetal brain." (Jay P. Goldsmith, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2016)
